Have you ever been to a baby shower that put the hostess into the hospital? Forced a mom to abandoned her new baby. Showed unusual and excessive excitement over little tiny things? Given a grandmother an adult diaper as a gift? Listen to "war' stories from women who had never been on active military duty?

Sara-Claire, Khiron and Archer, surrounded by a perfect mix of family and friends, were showered with lovely little oneies, pjs, booties, books, bouncers, diapers, wipes, lotions and wipes.....the list goes on and on.

Have you ever wondered where the term showering came from? No, this isn't Mia, but I am trying to be more like her. This is my feeble attenpt....Showers may have derived it's name from the custom in Victorian times for the presents to be put inside a parasol, which when opened would "shower" the bride or parents to be with gifts.

Khiron, Sara-Claire and Archer were so overwhelmed with all the expressions of love that were "showered" on them. Thank you seems not enough so they gave out lots of hugs!! Nadja and Barbara y'all are just the 'bees knees, tootsie pie, snicker doodle, honey bunny, sugar pie...trying to say you both are the sweetest things for loving on my children the way you did today and every other day! It was fab!

I guess I should explain my opening statement. Yes, one of the hostess did have to make a trip to the hospital. She is back home now but we would love your prayers for her.

We promise we weren't the reason she had to go.Our mommy did leave her child for the longest time she has ever left him...as you can see, he is doing just precious.Most little tiny things are precious, except spiders, and some bugs, germs, or mice....I received a diaper from a 'friend' as protection against tinkling with excitment when Archer is on his way. We have all done it, shared our experiences of birthing, motherhood, sleeplessness, losing your girlish figure, the best diapers, wipes, bottles, lotion, etc. Mother's War Stories. Want to share some of yours?

We promised Archer aka BabyLove, the world. We just can't wait for him to get here so we can give it to him!
